It's no wonder, otherwise how could he keep thinking that the so-called underground palace doesn't exist at all, it's just a rumor?

But having said that, Tanglin Luoxi's expression still became a little ugly: "Since Prince Yuwen doesn't know anything, why did he come all the way here?

Seeing that he was angry, Yu Wenheng was not in a hurry, and even smiled confidently: "The emperor is not in a hurry, although the minister does not know the location of the underground palace, but someone here knows!"

"What?" Donglin Luo Xi immediately turned his anger into joy, "Who are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty. Yu Wenheng smiled slightly, bowed down and replied, "Although the location Murong Liao chose when he established the underground palace was extremely secretive, he was also worried that he would die before Hua Jinse, so he secretly told her the location of the palace. Hua Jinse was afraid that she would die too hastily in case of an accident, and after thinking about it, she told the crown prince Murong Chen about it. After all, it was his own son, so Murong Chen naturally wouldn't reveal this secret. ”

Tanglin Luo Xi frowned: "After the country was broken, the prince and princess were temporarily imprisoned, and Murong Chen was also included, right?"

Yu Wenheng replied: "After deciding to divide the Datong Empire into three, the next question is the disposal of these princes and princesses. Hua Jinse gave birth to a total of three sons and three daughters, so the three kingdoms each brought a prince and a princess back, but it was not impartial. In order to show the benevolence of the new emperor, they were all properly settled after being brought back to the Three Kingdoms, and each prince was named a prince in name only, and there was no worry about his life for the time being. And Murong Chen happened to be assigned to Ming Fengguo at that time. ”

When Dongling Luo Xi heard this, he immediately froze: "Oh, Murong Chen knows where the underground palace is, so it seems that he didn't tell your ancestors?"

"Not really. Yu Wenheng couldn't help but sigh, "After all, the Three Kingdoms joined forces to destroy the Datong Empire, and he hated us too late, how could he give us so many treasures? ”

Tanglin Luo Xi finally grasped the most important point, and immediately asked, "In this case, how do you know this? How do you know that Hua Jinse told Murong Chen the location of the underground palace?"

"He said it himself. Yu Wenheng smiled bitterly again, "About ten years later, the ancestor saw that the situation was gradually stabilizing, the people were living a prosperous life, and they would no longer advance the affairs of the court, so they naturally did not want to keep Murong Chen as a hidden danger, so they gave him a cup of poisonous wine. Murong Chen knew that his time for death had come, but he suddenly smiled coldly, raised his head and drank the poisoned wine and waited for it to attack before he tried his last breath to say that he knew the location of the underground palace, but he would not tell the ancestors. ”

Tanglin Luoxi was stunned for a moment: "What a revenge." ”

"Not bad. Yu Wenheng sneered, "He deliberately said this before he died, just to make the ancestor regret it and take revenge." It must be known that before this, the Three Kingdoms had sent countless people openly and secretly, but they had never found the location of the underground palace. They always thought that only Murong Liao and Hua Jinse, who had hanged themselves, knew about it, but they didn't expect Murong Chen to know about it, but unfortunately it was too late. ”

Tanglin Luoxi's eyes flickered: "Aren't there other princesses and princes?"

"Nobody knows. Yu Wenheng shook his head, "Getting rid of them is the common meaning of the Three Kingdoms, and the rest of the people didn't say anything before they died, Murong Chen also said that Hua Jinse only told him alone, after all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better." ”

Tanglin Luo Xi nodded in agreement: "In fact, as long as two people know, it is no longer a secret." ”

"The emperor is wise. Yu Wenheng nodded in agreement, "When the ancestor learned about this, he did regret it a little, but it was too late to rescue Murong Chen, so he had to watch him die of anger." Since then, the whereabouts of the underground palace have been even more unknown, and it has never been found. ”

Because the army led by Yuwen Yimai was the closest to the Datong Empire at that time, he renamed its capital Anyang as the capital of Mingfeng Kingdom, and renovated the inside and outside of its palace, and chose an auspicious day to ascend the throne as the emperor. The ancestors never believed that no one really knew the location of the underground palace, and spent their entire lives secretly searching for the people who participated in the construction of the palace, but they never succeeded. ”

Nearly a thousand years later, the underground palace is still asleep, and the vicissitudes of life have cast a veil of mystery over it, and many people have begun to believe that it is just a false legend. Even if it's not, the wind and clouds have changed for a thousand years, the vicissitudes of the sea, I don't know how many mountains have turned into rivers, I don't know how many rivers have dried up, even if the underground palace really exists, I'm afraid it will not be the original way it was!"

"But just about 200 years ago, things suddenly took a turn for the worse. At that time, there was a prince named Yuwentang in our Mingfeng country, and he always liked to go out on patrol in micro-clothes to observe the people's feelings and understand the people's opinions. However, when I was traveling to the countryside, I saw a family packing up their things to move elsewhere, and some things that were inconvenient to take away or had no value were casually discarded, including the one brought by the minister at the last Three Kingdoms Festival. ”

Tanglin Luo Xi recalled for a moment, and immediately suddenly realized: "Is it the wooden board that needs to be filled in with numbers? Ah! That's right! After Yun'er solved the question, she showed a portrait of a woman, didn't it?"

Yu Wenheng nodded: "Yes, it's just that although everyone saw the beauty of that woman at that time, no one could have imagined that she was Hua Jinse who brought disaster to the Datong Empire!"

"What?!" Donglin Luo Xi was taken aback, and almost couldn't help but jump, "She is Hua Jinse?" Hearing you say this, I suddenly felt that her appearance seemed a little familiar...... Is it ......?"

"Did the emperor remember?" Yu Wenheng smiled slightly, "Originally, the minister didn't know, but after meeting Miss Duanmu that day, I found out that she was similar to Hua Jinse, but she was a little more beautiful than Hua Jinse!"

Tanglin Luo Xi only felt his heart pounding, and he faintly realized something that excited him! And if Hua Jinse was like this back then, it was not surprising that Murong Liao would be infatuated with him so much.

Calming down, he deliberately pretended to be very calm: "So, how did the prince of your country, Yuwentang, know that there is a portrait of Hua Jinse hidden in that wooden board?"

"He didn't know," Yu Wenheng shook his head, "At that time, Yu Wentang just thought that the wooden board was very quaint, and at first glance, he knew that it was very old, so he became interested in it. And when he saw that the family was going to throw it away, he came forward and offered to buy it for ten taels of silver. When the man saw that he had earned ten taels of silver in vain, he was naturally pleasantly surprised, and the two sides quickly made a deal. ”

During the conversation, the man told Yuwentang that this wooden board was an ancestral heirloom, and it was not known how many generations it had been passed down, but no one knew what it was used for, and he knew at a glance that it was not valuable, otherwise he would not choose to discard it. So saying, he took out another rag, and said that it was wrapped around the plank. ”

Yuwentang took it and took a look, although the cloth was still in good condition, it was so dirty that it couldn't see the original color, but it could vaguely see that some words seemed to be written on it, and he was even more interested at the moment, so he returned to the palace with the plank and rags. ”

When he returned, he cleaned the rags with his own hands, only to find that it was a yellow object of unrecognizable material, which was nowhere to be found at the time, and which could prove to be an antiquity. And there were indeed some words written on it, but he didn't know any of them, and naturally he didn't know what the ninety-nine-eighty-one squares on the wooden board meant. ”

"But fortunately, Yuwentang heard him talk to the male master when he said that his ancestor was in the palace, and the minister said that the palace of the Datong Empire was doing things, but there was nowhere to inquire about what he did. So, could this be the ancient script of the Datong Empire? Thinking of this, Yuwentang went into the library, looked for clues from the classical texts, and after a period of hard work, he really deciphered the line of writing......

Tanglin Luoxi's eyes lit up, and he immediately hit ...

Cut him off: "That's where the underground palace is?!"

"How is that possible?" Yu Wenheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "At that time, Yu Wentang didn't know the mystery, he just wanted to figure out what that wooden board was for. And the deciphered line of text is also very simple, that is, it explains the method of filling in the numbers in the square, which the emperor already knows, and the minister does not need to say more. It was precisely because of this hint that Yuwentang finally saw the portrait and couldn't help but be shocked. ”

"If this had been the end of the matter, there would have been no such thing as today. After unraveling the question, Yuwentang could no longer see that there were other secrets on the board, so he temporarily wrapped it in that cloth and took it out from time to time to admire the portrait of the woman, or used it to test other princes and princesses. But without exception, without that prompt, no one would have been able to unravel it. ”

However, it was precisely because of playing with it from time to time that by chance, Yuwentang finally discovered that the cloth actually had a sandwich, and there seemed to be something in it. So, he carefully cut the edges, and sure enough, he pulled out a piece of white silk as thin as a cicada's wing, which was densely covered with ancient characters of the Datong Empire. ”

Driven by curiosity, Yuwentang immediately compared the classical texts and deciphered those words one by one, only to know that it was actually left by the person who made the plank! That person said that his name was Yao Zhiyi, and he was a well-known carpenter among the people, who had always been good at making all kinds of handicrafts, and they were all lifelike and breathtaking. Not only that, but he was also able to make movable wooden figures, so he became famous. ”

"Because of this, one day he was suddenly invited into the palace by Murong Liao and asked him to create a 'shapeshift'. It turns out that Yao Zhiyi had made a wooden object before, and if the numbers were filled in correctly, a completely different picture would be revealed. Murong Liao thought it was interesting when he saw it, so he asked him to do the same. ”
